City - Auckland Country - New Zealand About - My passion is to develop an industry from growing macroalgae on an oceanic scale. I have a degree in Microbiology from the 1980s, and since then have worked at sea in the British Royal Navy and ashore in Information Technology and business strategy. In 2010 I am studying for a Masters degree in Bioscience Enterprise at the University of Auckland. I intend to use the tools this provides me with to make a reality of oceanic seaweed farming. |

- what could be approx cost of production of biodiesel/gallon from Algae by Hitesh2012 - 3 days ago
- The first step would be to isolate a good strain or engineering one. Then optimize conditions for enhanced algae production and take it from there.Production of algaefuel is sure a technology for the future.
